(WPLG) — MIAMI-DADE, Fla. – An American Airlines flight attendant told FBI agents that he heard Jason Felix struggling inside the plane’s lavatory during a flight from St. Croix to Miami. When Felix used a homophobic slur, he said he knew the drunken man was going to be trouble.

Later in the flight, Felix wanted more beer. He was shouting, and when an American Airlines’ flight attendant didn’t comply with his request, he was angry. Federal law prohibits serving alcohol to intoxicated passengers.

Bill Bolduc, a passenger, shared five videos of the nightmarish flight with Local 10 News on Friday.
